Tea Break 3.5 (4th Wall) [Action]

[tea_lover64]

[You can find Iroh working in the tea shop for a portion of the afternoon, brewing and serving tea to customers. In the morning, he can be found in the forest, working out strangely enough for a portion of it, before having a bit of a packed meal and some quiet meditation. Later on after his tea shift, he will be having a quiet stroll around the village]

I am Zhao the conqueror! I am the moon slayer!

[And with that, he basically throws himself at Iroh. Heads up, old man!]

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh moves deftly and quickly side steps and proceeds to send a push in his general direction. This wasn't the sort of attack he expected from Zhao. Maybe a new recruit who hadn't done basic yet.]

[moonslayer]

[Iroh's sudden dodge already causes Zhao to stumble, but the push is what ultimately sends him falling face-first to the ground.]

[tea_lover64]

[There was some kind of spirit effect going on here]

Zhao, you are not well. This is not our land, or even the spirit realm, it is an entirely other realm of existence.

[moonslayer]

[Guess who's not listening? This guy! He scrambles to his feet again, stopping when he's in a sort of crouching position, then throws himself at Iroh again like he's some kind of rabid dog.]

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh jumps back, and shoots a ball of fire at the ground in front of him as a barrier between himself and Zhao. If he still had his fire bending attacks this would be relatively simple to bypass]

Zhao! Stand down, and we can get you some help.

[It was a bit piteous to see Zhao like this really]

[moonslayer]

[Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

Zhao recoils at the sight of the fire, his eyes widening. When's the last time he saw anything this colorful? This warm? He can't remember. Where has he been? How long has he been there?

He slaps a hand against his face, trying to regain his composure. As far as that's possible, anyway. Then he glares up at Iroh once more.]

Never! I will never stand down!

[tea_lover64]

[Well, he wasn't going through it at least.]

Zhao, you must accept your defeat. Firelord Ozai was defeated in battle, the Hundred Years War has come to an end.

[moonslayer]

Defeat is for the weak!

[He's trying to push himself to his feet again, but he's having some difficulty. His body can only take so much, at this point.]

[tea_lover64]

Even the Chin the conquerer eventually fell. It is the way of the world, Zhao.

[He wasn't fond of the man, but seeing him like this was saddening]

You don't have to lie in defeat, you can rise up and do something good and memorable. Leave a legacy which helps people.
